These Weight Watchers Pork Egg Bites Are Perfect When You Need Breakfast On The Go

These Pork Eggs cups are a perfect quick weight watchers friendly breakfast.

If you are a long time reader of the blog you will know that I love making egg bites. Here’s my starbucks copycat recipe, and here’s some of my breakfast bubble up cups.

I had a little bit of left over ground pork from another recipe, so I knew I had to whip up a quick breakfast.

The process is simple:

1. Sauté the Veggies: I start by sautéing a mix of vegetables like onions, garlic, and bell peppers. Feel free to get creative! Use any veggies you have on hand, such as spinach or zucchini.
2. Cook the Pork: Add the ground pork to the pan and cook it until it’s nicely browned and cooked through.
3. Combine and Bake: Transfer the pork and veggie mixture to a bowl with the beaten eggs. Pour the combined mixture into a greased muffin baking pan and bake until the eggs are set.

That’s it! Enjoy these delicious and protein-rich Pork Egg Cups for a breakfast that will keep you energized all morning.

Pork Egg Cups Overview:

Preparation Time: 15 minutes

Cook Time: 20 minutes

Total Time: 35 minutes

Yield: 6 Pork Egg Cups

Serving Size: 1 Pork Egg Cup

1 WW Point per Serving

Ingredients:

• 1 teaspoon olive oil
• ½ onion, finely chopped (about 1 cup, 110 grams)
• 1 red bell pepper, finely chopped (about 1 cup, 110 grams)
• Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 cup ground pork 96% lean, 200 g.
• 6 large eggs
• ¼ cup shredded cheddar cheese (optional)

Instructions:

Sauté the Vegetables: Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onion and bell pepper and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Season with salt, pepper, and garlic powder.

Cook the Pork: Add the ground pork to the skillet and break it up with a spatula. Cook until the pork is browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Drain off any excess grease.

Combine with Eggs: Transfer the pork and veggie mixture to a bowl. Beat the eggs in a separate bowl and add them to the pork mixture. Stir until combined. Add a pinch of salt. 

Assemble and Bake: Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 6-cup muffin tin with cooking spray or nonstick baking spray. Divide the pork and egg mixture evenly among the muffin cups. Sprinkle with shredded cheddar cheese, if desired.

Bake: Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the eggs are set and the whites are no longer runny.

Serve: Let the Pork Egg Cups cool slightly before serving. Enjoy warm with your favorite breakfast sides, such as toast, fruit, or yogurt.

Variations and substitutions:

1. Swap the pork: For a different flavor, try using smoked sausage instead of ground pork. It adds a delightful smokiness to the egg cups reminiscent of bacon and eggs.
2. Egg options: Feel free to use whole eggs or just egg whites, depending on your preference. Both work equally well in this recipe.
3. Vegetable medley: Get creative with your veggie mix-ins. Broccoli, zucchini, spinach, tomatoes, or mushrooms are all excellent choices. Use whatever you have on hand to add color and flavor to your egg cups.

Tips and Tricks:

1. Sauté veggies thoroughly: Ensure the vegetables are cooked through and soft before adding the ground pork. Make sure the pork is very well cooked. 
2. Fill muffin molds generously: Aim to fill each muffin mold just above 3/4 full. The mixture will puff up slightly while baking but will settle back down as it cools.
3. Watch the baking time: These Pork Egg Cups bake quickly, usually in around 15 minutes. Keep an eye on them to prevent overcooking, as they can burn easily.
4. Make ahead and freeze: Prepare a large batch of the vegetable and pork mixture and freeze it in portions. Then, simply thaw overnight in the refrigerator, pour into muffin molds, bake, and enjoy.
5. Consider silicone molds: If you have silicone muffin molds, feel free to use them instead of paper liners. They’re reusable and make cleanup a breeze.

With these Pork Egg Cups, you can enjoy a delicious and satisfying breakfast that’s easy to make and customize to your liking. Say goodbye to bland breakfasts and hello to a flavorful start to your day!
